News:

Ya know, we have our "link mod" working? The program allows YOU to add your link yourself, unlike the old "add-me form" we had. Please, go to https://www.reenactor.net/index.php/page,167.html and add your unit's link, if we don't have it. For that matter, you can update links too. We still have many of the old links up, as it is a process to do a lot of them. However, we will be working to update links as fast as possible-- soon, ALL the unit links and historical links will be done this way!!

Topic: The Pyrates Way, mates (Read 23069 times)

eeegads mates, the Royal Navy must have cut out many tongues (and/or salty digits). Well let me be the first to say Arrrgh (not Savvy, which is an aboriginal american term).

I publish The Pyrates Way magazine (www.pyratesway.com) and would invite ye all to check out said publication as I am in hopes to further include the pyratical side of re-enactment into our subject matter!

The Pike River Rendezvous is one of the largest fur-trapping and trading reenactments in the area!

Historical reenactors accurately portray life in the former Northwest Territory from 1670 to 1830 using interpreters and including demonstrations of the trades and crafts of the early settlers. Food and other refreshments are available, as well as children's activities. Step back in time and experience life as it was over 200 years ago!

Nay, ye 're not the only pyrate. But are they truly sure that a pirate of old said "Arrrrgh"?

You are right to question the manner and speech of pyrates, Raeven. This is just one of the stereotypes are crew is trying debunk.

Of course, this would all depend on if you what to be a Real Pyrate or a Reel Pyrate (Hollywood) - Great topic of discussion.

This that being said, September 19, 2007 is "Talk like a Pyrate Day".

That whole "arrrrgh" thing has always gotten to me.

I definitely agree with the Reel Pyrate aspect but I do think for the most part except for 'Savvy" and a few other words, the accents in POTC were closer than anyone else has gotten. The majority of pyrates were either British Isles, Spainish and then the few spatterings from other coutries. So some would have a 'cockney' accent,( i.e. 'ello).

Now others if they were Privateers or Cosairs; they would be more educated, and would have spoken proper English or French.

"Talk like a Pyrate Day" if you live in the right part of the country, they are having a lot of parties that day. I am in J-ville so the closet to me in Fort Lauderdale. And with the 19th being in the middle of the week, I don't see it happening.

Very true. I think when we hear pyrates, we only think of British or the Carribean and what not.

But there were French pyrates and Jean Lafitte (sp?) was one. And they definitely do not think of the Far East having pyrates when they did as well and even into the 19th century when the GAoP had long ended in the West.
